The new deal also includes a $16 million player option for 2026, and before Bieber shook hands with the Guardians and agreed to stay, the Red Sox put their best foot forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBefore Shane Bieber re-signed with the Cleveland Guardians, the Boston Red Sox were \u2018aggressive\u2019 and made a \u2018serious push\u2019 to sign the right-hander, according to sources familiar with the situation,\u201d FanSided\u2019s Robert Murray reported on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>The two-time All-Star underwent Tommy John surgery in April, limiting the 29-year-old to just two starts last season. Bieber logged 12 scoreless innings before reaching the premature end of his season and the road to recovery is expected to make its way to the middle of the 2025 season. Yet, despite the setback year for Bieber, Cleveland\u2019s front office remained fully interested in keeping the right-hander in a Guardians uniform next season.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not nearly as much of a setback for the Red Sox\u2019s offseason as even though Boston swung and missed on their bid for Bieber, the organization still has a plethora of options to explore at the MLB Winter Meetings in Dallas.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Story continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re very mindful,\u201d Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow told MassLive\u2019s Sean McAdam. \u201cI watched 162 games and recognize that a big part of the equation, especially for a starting rotation that primarily relied on managing hard contact and pitching in the zone, is the ability to convert balls in play into outs and we didn\u2019t do that well enough. That\u2019s a responsibility we all share. We made some changes to the (coaching) staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sox could still strike a deal in the coming days and make it out of next week\u2019s meetings with a new face added to the roster \u2014 or arm. Corbin Burnes, Max Fried and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki are among the handful of unsigned arms still available for Breslow and Boston\u2019s front office.<\/p>\n<p>MLB\u2019s Winter Meetings in Dallas will end on Thursday.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Red Sox made their (valiant) bid at landing starting pitcher Shane Bieber before the righty re-signed with the Guardians on Friday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15952,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-15951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Red Sox Reportedly Made &#039;Serious Push&#039;
